I've been meaning to post this for a while (by a while I mean 3 weeks) and well, basically, it's what it says on the tin. Rather than making resolutions like 'going to the gym' or 'eating 5 portions of fruit every day' which I'll tell myself I'll have to stick too and undoubtedly fail at that after at least a week (definitely by now), I've decided to do a bucket list. A list of things I want to achieve and accomplis throughout the year.

I'm going to plan on looking back after a year and see what I've actually achieved.

- Drastic hair change

- Loose weight/ be happy with my body

- Go to Amsterdam

- Go to LA

- Go on a spontaneous road trip

- Compliment strangers

- Get a part time job

- Go to a festival

- Read more books

- Sell my old shit on eBay

- Attempt to learn to cook

- Be more adventurous with outfits and clothes

- Learn a new language

- Learn to draw/sketch and draw/sketch more

- Take lots more photos of everyday life

- Try new hobbies

- Do a internship in the Summer

- Remember to no give a shit what people think

- Meet new people, make new friends

So there we have it. Kinda cliche. Kinda cringe. But what can we do?

Apologies for this being posted slightly late, well in fact 3 weeks late.

I'm not even going to justify my blogging absence - I've just been pure lazy and neglectful (sorry blog). BUT, recently, I have really wanted to take blogging a lot more seriously and get my blogging head back on track. So I'm here, today, with my christmas wish list.

These are just a few ideas I've given my family of what would go down a treat with me for christmas. As well as a few ideas for anyone else who's wondering what to ask - even though I'm sure everyone is a lot more organised than me and has gifts already bought, wrapped and under the tree.

Spending £4 every month doesn't exactly break my bank (although being a student it could do me a fair few meals but fashion over food, right?) but I would love to have the next few months sorted Vogue-wise. I also think it's a pretty good gift as it's a gift which keeps on giving.

The Real Techniques face set is literally gods gift and are pretty much the only brushes I use. Being reasonably inexperienced to the whole eye-shadow life, I think these would go down a treat with my eyes.

I should be a lot more ashamed than I am with the fact this is on here, but it is. I didn't get to see it when it was at the cinema and again I should be ashamed to admit that I was slightly upset at this. I just need a little bit of Harry Styles in my life. (who doesn't?)

Life these past few months has been busy. Really busy. I only have that to blame for my complete absent-ness.

So basically, not only did my summer include turning 18 (after waiting all year) (which included having a few bevvies here and there) (basically I went out a lot) and going away three times (posts to follow) I also discovered I got into uni! I'm now officially a London College of Fashion student and so as you can imagine, that is where my recent time has gone to.

So, I've now been living in London for a month and let me just say what a month! I literally am so in love with London. Having Camden a few tube lines away makes it a great night out. Having Westfield a few stops up makes my "student budget" way of living a little bit of a lie (god bless my student loan) (clothes over food) (sorry mum!) and having a student pass to THE London College of Fashion makes me feel pretty damn cool.

So please forgive my total lack of blogging and let me say this is my pledge to get back into the wonderful blogging lifestyle which I have missed!
